Bilbies do not have "enemies", as such - they have predators. Natural predators of the bilby include dingoes and quolls, although due to habitat loss, quolls no longer share habitats with the bilby, which has been driven further inland. Carpet pythons and Birds of Prey also pose a danger.

Feral dogs, foxes and cats are introduced predators - and therefore enemies - of the bilby. Whilst not predators or even enemies, introduced rabbits pose a threat to the bilby. Not only do they eat the bilbies' food, but their burrowing often causes the bilbies' burrows to cave in, trapping and suffocating the bilbies. Similarly, stock animals such as horses and cattle, which are not enemies of the bilby either, cause problems because their hard hooves impact the ground, making it harder for bilbies to dig.
